Not for the faint heartedMake no mistake this film is dreadful. But you can't blame it all on Madonna's acting. The script is appallingly bad and the film cannot decide whether to be a romantic comedy or an Indiana Jones style action adventure. In the end it's neither, the budget just doesn't stretch that far. The scenery is nice though and Madonna does look stunning, even though she looks like she is bored stiff and is reading her lines from an autocue. The only intersting bit and redeeming quality this film has is Sean Penn's acting. He carries the film and the look of fondness he has for Madonna in the one-on-one scenes with her is obvious. She also shows signs of animation when she is acting one-on-one with Sean. Ah, if only she had remained married to him she might have been an Oscar winning actress by now. Or perhaps not! This film deserves to be seen for Sean's acting alone. So if you've got nothing planned and you want to watch a DVD that doesn't tax your brain too much then this is ideal. The soundtrack is good too - shame they never released it commercially.
This Movie's Not That Bad.....This movie that starred Sean Penn and Madonna (who was the husband and wife team in the 1980s in real life)is not that bad, but it isn't great either, but it is watchable enough for a lot of people. It does have some areas that needs improvement and needs to be less choppy, like the scenes and conversations. The guy who kept popping up warning Sean Penn's character got on my nerves at times (I think it was his acting), but almost everyone did ok on their acting. It's more of an adventure than a romance and a couple of scenes can make you laugh. :) Overall, I enjoyed it.

Judgment in Berlin
Released in VHS Tape by New Line Studios (27 February, 1996)
Starring: Martin Sheen and Sam Wanamaker
Average review score: 

Snooze and LoseDon't be fooled by actors like "Martin Sheen"! and "Sean Penn"! Sean Penn has a small dorkey part where he talks with a lame German accent. Martin Sheen is OK but this really is no better than a low budget movie of the week. I watched the clock more than the film.
